Verse 9. *V* Here Yoga is that of true knowledge of the nature of self अन्यत् *V.* Anything other than self *i.e.*, the body and its belongings which are the objects of man. *D.* Notes that here the word Yoga indicates the knowledge engendered by means of Yoga and so all his impurity is burnt up by the fire namely the knowledge engendered by deep contemplation of the Lord. Thus he has his mind completely purified and so he was able to see the true relation between Paramatman and the world. Again the word स्वरूप in this verse is to be taken in the sense of the Jiva's *Bimba* *i. e.*, Paramatman of whom the Jiva is like a reflection. Realising this relation of his self to the Lord he did not find anything other than Hari to be the absolute Lord. On the other hand he realised the Truth that the world is created, preserved, governed, destroyed, enlightened subjected to bondage and released from it only by Hari. 10. Remaining like a stupid, blind, deaf, dumb and mad man, but unlike any of them in mind, he was seen by children on the way like the fire which does not send out its rays or show its severity.
